GitHub’s AI programming assistant Copilot uses the public code base for training, and automatically supplements the subsequent code according to the context such as function names when developers write code. Many times Copilot is supplemented by making copies of code snippets in the public codebase. This raises copyright related issues. Attorney Matthew Butterick this week announced a partnership with law firm Joseph Saveri to investigate the possibility of filing a copyright claim against Copilot , including whether GitHub used open source code to train Copilot inappropriately; The Free Software Foundation (FSF) has previously called for an investigation into licensing issues with code produced by GitHub Copilot.
